Rupee strengthens early as inflows and crude stability aid sentiment
The rupee advanced 22 paise in early trade as dollar inflows, firmer equities, and stable crude prices supported sentiment in the forex market.
India’s currency opened firmer on Monday, December 22, 2025, gaining 22 paise to trade at 89.45 against the US dollar in early hours. The rupee opened at 89.53 before strengthening on steady corporate dollar inflows and supportive domestic equity cues.
